PENANNULAR RING
Unique ID: HAMP-99FF65
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Published 
A Late Bronze Age penannular gold ring with hoop of circular cross-section; original decorative banding in broad stripes of yellow and paler gold are very worn and best perceptible near the inner surface. Roughness of gold at one terminal could be due to damage. The surface is heavily worn; scores and scrapes are likely to have occurred post-depositionally. Visual inspection suggests that the piece comprises a gold covering over a base metal core, with some corrosion product at the terminals.
A similar penannular ring from Rowlands Castle, Hampshire, was reported through the Treasure Act (Treasure Annual Report 2005/6, 21; ref. 22/2005 T358).
